Amazon.com Product Description: Specially designed for use in smaller vehicles, the Diplomat from Britax is a compact, convertible car seat that's comfortable for baby on long drives, easy for parents to work with and--most importantly!--safe. It fits children weighing five to 35 pounds in rear facing and one year and up to 40 pounds in forward facing, with both positions able to accommodate a standing height of up to 40 inches.
Proper positioning helps keep your child secure in the car, and that's why the Diplomat is chock full of features that ensure your child is seated and strapped in at the safest angle. An easy-turn knob quickly adjusts headrest and harness height without requiring you to uninstall the seat, while the tangle-free, five-point harness ensures a snug and secure fit at multiple heights. There's also a rear-and forward-facing recline option and soft body pillow for child comfort and proper positioning. Convenient belt holders keep the harness to the side so you can comfortably place child in the seat, and premium push-button LATCH connectors provide a quick, simple and tight installation. Finally, built-in lock-off clips tightly secure the vehicle seat belt without the need for additional parts you could misplace. True Side Impact ProtectionTM and Versa-Tether for Peace of Mind The Companion also gives you additional peace of mind by featuring engineered True Side Impact ProtectionTM. Deep side walls and head support provide advanced shock-absorption and cushioning in side impact collisions, helping to reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) impact foam lining around the baby's head and torso absorbs energy in side and rear impacts, cradles baby's head to keep it away from protruding parts, cushions violent side to side movements, and creates a comfortable resting spot. Secondly, the rear- and forward-facing recline allows the patented Versa-Tether, an energy management top tether, to anchor the top of seat to the vehicle in the event of impact, thereby reducing movement. Specifically, the Versa-Tether fastens the top of the car seat to factory installed automobile anchor points, minimizing the possibility of a head injury. This system also allows for rear-facing tethering to help keep the seat consistently stable.
When it comes to safety, the Diplomat truly delivers. First, the patented floating HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard) system exceeds U.S. safety standards by reducing forward head movement as it gently cushions the neck and chest with soft padding--a feature that's particularly important both in the case of an accident and during nap time. In addition, this system better distributes the webbing loads, reducing head movement and minimizing harness irritation on baby's neck in case of an impact. HUGS also reduces the chance of improperly positioning the chest clip. Lightweight at 15 pounds, and measuring 19 x 25 x 23.5 inches (WxHxD), the Britax is also certified for air travel. The Diplomat comes with a 1-year limited warranty. The Diplomat is also available in the following colors: Taylor and Huntington. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Easily broken headrestI would not buy this again for the following reasons. 1 - the Side Impact Protection is a loose piece of foam covered only by the headrest fabric (separate from the cover on the rest of the seat). It can be bumped out of position quite easily. Imagine putting a squirmy baby into a rear-facing carseat in a compact car and you can see that it is easy for this piece to get caught on your elbow or grabbed by the child. In the first 3 days of use, I cracked the foam in 2 places. There is ... Read More Rating:  - Really love this carseatWe got this carseat for my son after he outgrew his infant carrier at around 8 months. I really like this carseat. After wrestling with the Graco Snugride to get straps adjusted or to do the LATCH system, I really appreciate this seat. It's very easy to adjust strap height by turning a knob. The seat is able to sit up straight or recline a little (we have it reclining). The LATCH system for Britax is great. It's much more like a regular seatbelt fastener in that you push a little orange button to ... Read More Rating:  - Perfect size!After searching and searching for the right fit, I am very happy I purchased the Britax Diplomat. I first purchased the Britax Boulevard, but it was way too big for my car (Infiniti G35). So, our super girly Boulevard is now in my husband's truck. The Diplomat has all the positive features of the Boulevard plus the push button release found on the other Britax car seats. The Diplomat is the best combination of the Britax convertible car seats! I definitely recommend the Diplomat. ... Read More Rating:  - Pads not machine washable!I know this is a top-of-the-line car seat, and it is very plush and comfy and easy to adjust and all that, but the seat pads are not machine washable. Our baby threw up all over the seat the very first time we used it and then again a week later. It is very inconvenient to have a baby product that is not machine washable. Had I known this, I would have just got the Graco. Rating: - Comfy and Safe RideMy 3.5 month old son grew too long for his infant car seat. We purchased this one to accommodate his growth and he no longer cries when getting in his seat. It's small enough not to crowd up all the space in our small honda civic hybrid and is easy to install. The seat belt adjuster in the front is a handy feature. |
